1839 Seated Liberty Copper Proof Round $130
This 1839 Seated Liberty copper proof round is a stunning tribute to one of the most iconic eras in American numismatic history. Priced at $130, this high-quality commemorative piece features the classic Christian Gobrecht design, depicting Lady Liberty seated upon a rock, holding a staff topped with a Phrygian cap while supporting a shield inscribed with the word LIBERTY. This specific round is struck with a brilliant proof finish, characterized by its mirror-like fields and sharply frosted details that emphasize the intricate drapery of Liberty’s gown and the thirteen stars arching above her. While the 1839 date honors the first full year of production for the Seated Liberty half dollar, it is important to note that this is a modern copper bullion round rather than a government-issued coin from the 19th century. Its exceptional luster and crisp denticles along the rim make it a premier choice for collectors who appreciate historical designs rendered with modern minting precision. The round is securely housed in a protective clear flip, ensuring its pristine copper surfaces remain free from oxidation or wear.
Condition: This item is a modern commemorative round in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, exhibiting a proof-like finish with highly reflective mirrored fields and frosted devices. There is no evidence of wear or circulation, though minor surface contact marks may be present. This is not a government-issued coin but a privately minted bullion round. It is composed of copper, featuring the iconic Seated Liberty design originally created by Christian Gobrecht. The historical context references the 1839 Seated Liberty coinage of the United States, but this specific piece is a contemporary reproduction. The strike type is a proof strike, characterized by high-pressure dies that create sharp, crisp details. The item is ungraded and currently housed in a standard protective vinyl flip.
